Bobby Ryan's latest hand injury will keep him out long term.

Ottawa Senators head coach Guy Boucher confirmed Tuesday that Ryan suffered ligament damage and is out on a week-to-week basis.

The forward suffered the injury after scoring a power-play goal during last Thursday's game against the Anaheim Ducks.

This marks the fourth time Ryan's been sidelined by a hand injury this season alone. The 30-year-old has been limited to 39 games in 2017-18, and has tallied just seven goals and 20 points.

The team's expected to call up a player from the Belleville Senators of the AHL, after which Ottawa will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
